so apparently Prion/Kuru is a Copper disorder, in both directions, too much & too little, Prion is specifically misfolding Copper, above all other metals elements?

Conotoxin inside the mitochondria, Fibril grow sharp needle-like proteins, similar to Gout, Kidney Stones & Asbestos.

Potassium Citrate breaks it down.

been testing Potassium lately, it seems very effective breaking down Endogenous Noncarbonic Oxalate Acidosis.

A mature bone matrix

In order to mimic a mature bone matrix, self-assembled fibrils can be used to align a given mineral matrix. This is accomplished using a self-assembling molecule with a hydrophobic alkyl tail and a hydrophilic oligopeptide head. These molecules form micellar structures in situ, and disulfide bridges at low pH, leading to the formation and crystallization of 200 kDa polymeric nanofibrils.

Deep sea vents had ideal conditions for origin of life

https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2019/nov/deep-sea-vents-had-ideal-conditions-origin-life

The researchers found that molecules with longer carbon chains needed heat in order to form themselves into a vesicle (protocell). An alkaline solution helped the fledgling vesicles keep their electric charge. A saltwater environment also proved helpful, as the fat molecules banded together more tightly in a salty fluid, forming more stable vesicles.

For the first time, the researchers succeeded at creating self-assembling protocells in an environment similar to that of hydrothermal vents. They found that the heat, alkalinity and salt did not impede the protocell formation, but actively favoured it.
